When is tree removal necessary?
Although tree removal is a last resort, below are circumstances when it may be necessary:
- Improper decisions in the initial tree planting making it “undesirable” for various reasons.
- Lack of adequate tree trimming and pruning.
- Environmental conditions such as drought, pest, disease, fire and mudslide damage, lightning strikes.
- Mechanical damage attributed to trenchers, tractors, trimmers, lawn mowers, motor vehicle accidents.
- Insufficient irrigation, nutrients in the soil and lack of fertilization.

How will I know if my tree should go?
One of our arborists can help decide whether or not a tree should be removed. They have the skills and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees. Removal is recommended when:
- The tree is dead or dying.
- The tree is considered hazardous.
- The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through trimming and pruning.
- The tree is crowding and causing harm to other trees.
- The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen.
- The tree should be removed to allow for new construction.
How much does it cost to remove a tree?
Removal costs are based on a multitude of factors, such as size, location, access and structures/targets in the area. Grinding the stump adds time, which will reflect in an additional cost.
Will insurance pay for tree removal?
The answer to that question depends on your insurance provider. Generally speaking, insurance plans DON’T cover the cost to remove a tree until it has fallen, and usually only the portion on your property. As to whether they will pay to have it removed depends on why the tree fell in the first place. For example, if the tree fell during a storm or act of nature versus neglect by not maintaining it.
Do you offer emergency tree removal?
We provide emergency tree services for a variety of circumstance. Storms may cause limbs or entire trees to fail, often landing on homes, cars, other structures or other trees. In some cases the danger can be seen in week limbs where tree trimming service is all that is necessary.
